Luxurious Experience In Every Moment
"We were impressed by La Cotte's style and service. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and elegant. The cottages were spacious, clean, and full of natural light. Breakfast & lunch at the restaurant was a highlight, with fresh ingredients and the mountain views that added magic to every meal."
Anna Job
An absolutely stunning property!
"An absolutely stunning property, with friendly service, a gorgeous pool area, and breath taking views. Just a short walk into the town centre, but still feels separate (in a good way). We didn't have dinner on the Farm, but the breakfast was the best avo+eggs on toast I've ever had - and it was a birthday breakfast so champagne obligatory. 100% recommend this property, nothing bad to say at all."
Alex Mark
There really is nothing not to like about La Cotte Farm.
"There really is nothing not to like about La Cotte Farm. It sits in a beautiful location and so every day you can wake up to the breath taking mountain views and be surrounded by wonderful gardens in peaceful bliss. Each room is carefully curated and you cannot but help to take away ideas, as the colour palettes and textiles are striking. The food is not just delicious but visually stunning using home grown fresh and vibrant ingredients. The staff have always been nothing but courteous and extremely helpful in everyway. Can't wait to rebook."
